And our fathers’ fathers learned then why their ship had strained in the wind, but moved not. In the storm they driven into this mass of weeds of the sea, and here they staved “Tima passed, and our fathers worked valiantly in their effort to free the ship. These efforts were in vain. Since those times. the ship has remained here, rotting slowly: here our fathers' fathers died. and here our fathers have died. Here, too, we shall die. as God sees fit, and here, eventually, those to follow us shall perish, g the stout timbers of the ship rot fsgm under us. “Thus is oux story. We have lived a& best we coutd, finding our food in fishinz in these weeded depths, staring our water from the rains carefully. Tt is the life that has been given us— this we accept.” Amazement was written on Bub's face as the man told his story. It meemed inconceivable that a whole colony. for nearly a century. perhaps, could have lived in this spot—yet ap- paventiv it was true : “aAnd vou have never tried to free yourselves—to get to land?” Bub asked. “The man, who gave hix name, s John, shrugged his shoulders. here is nothing we can do,” he sald.

There was a strange grandeur to their actions: it was -he same, he thought, as though he had stepped back into the world of a century before. | Accompanying John Bub passed to the forward deck. He noticed that everything there was shipshape and clean, and back and forth on the deck were men and women going about various tasks.
